The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies! Chapter 540: A Sacrificial Victim

Lin Shuo raised his head and downed another cup of wine, "That was the first ti I saw such a terrifying expression on the face of my always-kind mother."

"Only then did I realize that hatred can twist a person in such a way."

"I also realized how frightening the word ’emotion’ truly is."

"I remained silent for a long ti before asking her, all the love you’ve shown since I was young, was it all fake?"

"She said, yes."

"The more she loved my father, the more she hated that woman. She also hated , all her kindness towards was for this mont."

"So, I killed my own mother like that."

"My mother hated to her core."

"And my father seed to wish he could die with that woman."

"Tell , in such a vast world, where is there a place for ?"

Jiang Youzhi remained silent for a long ti before saying, "Things have co to this point, it’s irrevocable."

"Brother Lin, you need not bla yourself too much; in reality, you are also a victim, rely a tool in Madam Hou’s hands."

"The rivalry among your parents and birth mother made you a pawn. I just feel sorrowful for you."

Lin Shuo smiled bitterly, "I feel the sa."

He raised his head and drank down a cup of wine, "Perhaps, to my father, I am just the heir needed by the Marquis Mansion."

"To my mother, I am rely a tool for revenge."

"To that woman, maybe I am the son she truly loved."

"For the sake of her son’s future, she willingly gave to my mother to be a legitimate child."

"She lived for ten years before , cautious and reserved. Whenever she t , she always respectfully bowed her head and called young master. If it weren’t for her dying words, I would never have known she loved too."

Lin Shuo’s tears fell into the wine cup, "But I have hated her for so many years; I simply can’t bring myself to love her anymore."

"I also dare not recall those details she showed before, the more I think, the more it proves her love for , and the greater my regret for my impulsiveness."

Jiang Youzhi could only sigh, nothing more than sighing, he didn’t comfort Lin Shuo.

This is not sothing simple consolation can resolve.

The shadow this event has cast will surely accompany Lin Shuo through his life.

After a while, Jiang Youzhi finally said, "In that case, leaving the Capital City may not be a bad thing."

"Only, I’ve finally had such a good friend as you, yet we must part."

Lin Shuo shook his head, "Life’s gatherings and separations are unpredictable. Who knows, maybe we’ll reunite soday."

Jiang Youzhi raised his wine cup, "Why talk about such things now? It’s not ti to part yet. Even if you must leave, let it be after the year, we still have ti to gather."

Lin Shuo nodded, "Exactly, co on, drink!"

Jiang Youzhi then brought up idle chatter, "I heard the Emperor often visits Fan Building in disguise, is it true?"

Lin Shuo scoffed, "Of course it’s true, over at the West Building, guests have long been forbidden."

"The Oiran Lin Shishi can only occasionally et guests at South Building."

"All the more so, since the prominent nobles in Capital City swarm around Lin Shishi like flies, throwing money just to have tea or listen to her play a tune."

"But that’s about it, spending the night is sothing no one dares to imagine."

Jiang Youzhi raised an eyebrow, surprised that even the Emperor favored this.

The Capital City’s nobles were likewise, scrambling madly for a famous courtesan.

The two chatted until the hour of Hai before leaving the private room.
